Sokol Electric | Qualified Electrical Company in Los Angeles, CA

Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are safety devices required by code that trip when they detect dangerous electrical arcing, common in older wiring found in many LA homes. A trip often indicates worn insulation in attic wiring or a faulty connection, which can be a fire hazard. We specialize in diagnosing these sensitive issues. Our process involves methodically testing the circuit, inspecting accessible wiring in attics (where heat accelerates wear), and pinpointing the exact cause—whether it's a single faulty device or aging wire—to provide a safe, code-compliant repair that stops the nuisance trips.

Our process for EV charger installation starts with a detailed assessment of your home's electrical panel to ensure it can handle the new load safely. We check the panel's capacity, condition, and compliance with current codes. Based on your vehicle's needs and panel health, we'll discuss the best charger location and any necessary upgrades, such as a dedicated circuit or panel modernization. Our licensed team handles the entire installation, including permits if required, ensuring the setup meets all California safety standards and is ready for reliable, everyday use.

Our electrical inspection is a thorough evaluation of a property's electrical system. We examine the service panel for safety, capacity, and code compliance; test outlets and switches; check wiring conditions in accessible areas like attics; and assess grounding and bonding. We specifically look for issues common in the region, such as outdated wiring methods or panels, overloaded circuits, and safety hazards. You'll receive a clear, detailed report outlining our findings, any immediate concerns, and recommendations for repairs or upgrades, giving you confidence in your property's electrical safety.
